To lose more weight you probably need to do more cardio in order to improve the results. Lifting will help you gain muscle mass and a toner body, however, you will not be burning much fat with lifting. Perhaps instead of walks, go for runs. A couple miles for 3-4 times a week should help a bit. Or you can try other types of cardio work. (see my above list)
Are you kidding me? Most people, and by most about 85%, of people have this misconception that weight lifting means a bigger body like the guys you see on TV or in a magazine. It's been proven for a long time that cardiovascular exercise - steady-state endurance exercises, like running, biking, and swimming - burns a lot of calories, especially in constrast to yoga or pilates. However, it's so overrated. For one, Aerobic exercise build little, if any, muscle, which is a crucial component of metabolism. Muscle kills fat, your body burns up to an additional 50 calories a day to just keep that msucle alive. For instance, by just adding 6 pounds of muscle, you're burning 300 calories each day just sitting still.
Two: Once your burn those calories on the treadmill or whatever, and see how much calories you burned, that's it. Unlike weight training which THROUGHOUT the whole day you burn calories repairing, creating, and maintaining muscle. Like someone else said previously, if weight lifting equates to larger body mass and not burning fat, then you would see a LOT more big guys/girls around. In essence, by not weight lifting, you're not only missing an oppurtunity to burn fat, but also losing all-important and powerful muscle.
I could go in depth MUCH more, but I'll restrain and let that soak. Again, don't believe in the stupid misconception and educate yourself.

but i dont loose weight.
how to loose some weight.
I'm gonna go right out there and say it's your diet. It's that simple. I don't know the timeframe in which you want to lost that weight but 10kg is a lot. Fix your diet. Breakfast is what stops your body from going into a catabolic state and gets the nutrients, etc. that you need throughout the day. What they say is true, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, to some effect. I believe that eating MORE, but SMALLER, meals throughout the day gives way to better results. It's good that you do some workout everyday and some cardio. Because you want to cut some pounds/fat, I suggest you increase your cardio a bit and try to change it up so your body doesn't get used to it. For example adding in high-intensity-interval-training (HIIT). Google it if you want more info. But fix your diet first, it'll help immensely. Hope that helps.
